[ URL Rewrite Rule (subfolder .htaccess) ]

I have this .htaccess file

domain.com/modules/mymodule/.htaccess

can this htaccess file "handle" urls like domain.com/something

i cannot put or edit a .htaccess on the root directory, i can only put it in mymodule subfolder

i don't want the user to see

domain.com/modules/mymodule/mymodulepage

but something like

domain.com/mymodulepage

can this be done ?

i posted nothing that i tried because they were just desperate attempts such as playing with RewriteBase and so on .. but i knew that the url is not getting "handled" by the subfolder's htaccess file !!

No it can't. It won't be accessed unless the request is for something in that directory or its subdirectories.

You can make domain.com/modules/mymodule/mymodulepage redirect to domain.com/mymodulepage, but once it's there, you won't have any rules to property handle it.

If you have no access to any kind of server config except an htaccess file in /modules/mymodule/, you're not going to be able to do this. If you do have access to some level of config, you could do something like this:

Alias /mymodulepage /the/path/to/modules/mymodule/

And that will point the URI /mymodulepage to the file-path /the/path/to/modules/mymodule/ where the URI /modules/mymodule/ is.
